Description of the problem | I own a 2001 ford f150 4. 6 lter and at approximately 105,000 miles #3 spark plug blew out of the head. Ford attempted to replace the plug and again it blew out. I fixed it with a helicoil myself as the expense was $3000 for the dealership to fix. Recently with 121,000 miles it was running rough and when the dealership went to replace the spark plugs they dropped something into cylinder #7. The mechanic started the engine and now have an inoperable vehicle that they are refusing to fix. |
